My terminals have no cursor, nothing that I type shows on the terminal screen, and typing commands seem to have no result. su enter does not cause the terminal to ask for a password, nor does sudo -s Other commands seem to have no effect at all. Terminals are apparently dead!

EDIT: I've just finished installing the Mate desktop. Terminals work as expected on Mate! I was on the Classic desktop when the terminals weren't working. I should probably check the Cinnamon desktop - maybe I will later!
